The TV has three HDMI, two component, one VGA and one s/composite input. Each can have its own settings, including all the detailed picture setting, audio settings (my wife likes to use the built-in speakers with the analog TiVo to watch Oprah), etc. Some of these settings can be memorized as image presets, but some of them are associated with the selected input.

I could program Harmony macros to change all those settings every time I change sources, but what a pain!

I still don't know what my ultimate solution to this will be. Probably HDMI splitters so send HDMI audio for BD and HD-DVD to an AVR while still switching video on the TV.

Con: Blu-ray remote doesn't have illuminated buttons. Sure its a minor thing compared to everything else, and I've come to memorize most of the basic buttons in the dark, but it'd be nice to have.

How did you do this? I have a Harmony 890 and the Nyko and havent' figured out how to program it :(

BTW if you hold down X and then press X again, it shuts off.

I recently got a PS3 and I love it. I never had a problem with how "slow" other Blu-Ray (and HD DVD) players are and I was still blown away by how speedy the PS3 is. I love it. :)

Holy crap, are you serious?

I just hooked up my new PS3 yesterday (for BRD playing only---I-m not much of a gamer). My Nyko BluWave IR remote just came in the mail today. No on/off was bugging me. If what you say is true, you'll have made me 50% happier! Thanks.

[OT, the PS3 is elegant as a BRD player in my opinion.]

GatorDeb...

I just added the PS3 as a device and then customized the buttons. There's a page that's full of optional buttons for all devices. BTW, I'm going to try the double X trick - if it works I could program my shutdown to do that! That'll make a heck of a lot of people happy!

120inna5, I couldn't agree more on the PS3 overall, much less as a BD player! I love this thing!

I got a PS3 in the middle of February...love it, great picture quality for bd and sd dvd, fast load, great deal for the money...only con I have is that when you stop a movie or turn off the system during a movie, your last stop is not remembered, making it somewhat frustrating to always have to go back and find the spot where you left off. If I am mistaken here, please let me know how to do it, but other than that I love the system.

The new firmware lets you do that.

There's a new update out now that includes a resume function, which was not available before. Works with MOST BDs out there.

talk about good timing...I just started my update, got on here and saw your responses, then read on my screen thats one of the new features, excellent!

For those of you who want to use your existing remotes for the PS3, this just in: The IR2 BT.
This solution comes in a palm-sized device that allows a universal remote's infrared signal to be converted into bluetooth, which is recognized by the PS3. The device promises to transmit "all 51 Sony Blu-ray remote codes including the PS button for Power On / Off."
It operates off two AA batteries, or a mini-USB connector.

Yeah. This is a hot item! They're sold out, but expecting more. I have to admit, I was keeping this quiet myself because I wanted a better chance of receiving one. Currently the fledgling manufacturer doesn't have a method of pre-order, so you basically just have to keep checking back on the site.

is this not as good as the nyko IR remote? that one is cheaper no?

This is a lot better. The Nyko kit limits you to what the controller can do, minus the PS button. There are several functions on the Bluetooth remote that cannot be done with the controller, at least without going to that onscreen menu. This device supports all that the BT remote does, plus adds a power on command.
